August Author Talks

Author's book covers (left to right): The Bird Book by The Smithsonian, The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, Shatterproof by Dr. Tasha Eurich.

Join us for our monthly online author talk series! This August we’ll explore the evolution and wonder of birds, a sizzling romantic comedy, and tips for dealing with stress and chaos.

Each event offers the opportunity to submit questions for a Q&A session. Registration is required for the live events. If you can’t attend live, register anyway and you’ll receive a recording of the talk after it ends!
